Crepes - A very thin french pancake. I have to say the best crepe(s) that I ever had was from a roadside creperie stand on Paris` famous avenue called "Champ Elysees" a few years ago. It was fascinating to watch the vendor make the crepe using a tool called "Crepe Spreader" that I had never seen before. My favorite filling was Sucre-Banane and my Hubby's was Nutella. Why did it taste like heaven? Was it because I was utterly famished after being on my feet all day long at the Louvre? Did the flavor go up a notch because I was finally having those crepes on that Avenue? I don't know.
But every time I make crepes at home,I get to relive the memories all over again. The taste though awesome, comes close enough but not the same.

Your crepes look beautiful. I went to Paris about 20 years ago and had a Nutella crepe which I absolutely loved. I can't remember the name of the place. But I have never tried to make them at home. Thanks for sharing!

Nice.. I have no idea why I have not been following you. I thought I was. I love the idea of using store bought yogurt in filling the crepe.Its much better than using custard or nutella. I will keep this bookmarked.
